Rolling Stone reported that Quavo said, "Damn, Makonnen!" when an interviewer told them iLoveMakonnen's big news. Then, when the writer told the rap trio that he was being supported, Quavo asked, "They supported him?" Offset added, "That's because the world is f**ked up."

Now, Migos is apologizing for their response to iLoveMakonnen's reveal that he's gay. On the group's Twitter account, they issued the following statement:
